Check In was superb, my bags were carried up the stairs to my room - the rooms are on split levels so the lift does not necessarily land on the same level as your room. Room was quiet and warm Staff are helpful and accomodating.

Gorgeous comfortable room, lovely helpful staff. Amazing food!
mary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is lovely but many of the original features were obscured by modernist decor. Also given the cost of the accommodation the prices for minibar and other features were very high and not conducive to making one feel at home.
Julia, 1-night trip

Lovely helpful staff on the reception desk - always a good first impression .Thank you
